Default Mod questions?

Hope this is the correct thread to post on. I would like some honest answers about modification on the LS3. I have a 2011 GS Manual. I am thinking of doing some mods. Cam, an LSXR intake manifold, Tubes, Headers new exhaust, tune.
1) Is it really worth it? I do autocross.
2) Do you have a lot of problems after doing this to your car?
I just would like some feedback from the guys that have mods done. Thanks everyone. Shannon

Most folks don't get much faster with more power because the typical autocross doesn't have long straights but if it makes you happy go for it.

The answer to #1 is no. You do autocross.
The answer to #2 is no. Not when it's installed properly.

Spend your money on suspension upgrades for autocross, you'll be happier.
